Table of contents
So, I’m guessing you are a final year student and maybe since the last two years you have been planning to study abroad to get that competitive edge in your career. Therefore, you must have already gathered a lot of research material to shortlist the fine universities that you could pick from to study abroad. Great! The job is half done.
However, the other half is yet to be finished. What is the other half though? The main procedure that will fulfil your dream to just get you there! So, once you are done with the good old formalities of enrolling with your university, the task that is filled with toils will be: Getting a visa, booking flights, foreign exchange and travel insurance. (I won’t waste your time talking about the other domestic chores that you would probably undertake). These given tasks can be simplified with Thomas Cook’s student travel services, which are all facilitated under one roof. Saves time for all the running around, doesn’t it? Now, let’s breakdown all these services one by one:

3. Travel Insurance-Â Most important thing while planning to study abroad
